This is list of free trade agreements between more than two sides, where each side could be a country (or other customs territory), a trade bloc or an informal group of countries.

Every customs union, trade common market, economic union, customs and monetary union and economic and monetary union has also a free trade area.

Most of these multilateral agreements are signed between neighboring countries, but there are exceptions like the worldwide WTO agreements and the TPP agreement that is regional by some definitions, but not neighboring. The rest of the non-regional agreements are concluded between two groups of neighboring states (or between a single group and a third country) and thus are not included in the multilateral list (EFTA-SACU, EU-ACPs and others).
